Do any of these sound familiar?
You know that nutrition is considered the 5th vital assessment but want to gain confidence in making diet recommendations beyond just the "big 3" brands.
You'd like to learn about alternative diets such as fresh prepared and home cooked meals.
You want to start implementing dietary assessments at every visit.
You have a goal to expand your understanding of canine and feline nutrition so that you can treat your patients more holistically.
If you answered yes, then this course is for you!
But do I really need to take a course?
Nearly 90% of pet owners want a dietary recommendation from their veterinarian, but 15% actually feel that they receive one.
Nutrition is essential to the foundation of good health, and is considered the 5th vital assessment. But many veterinarians and technicians feel that school did not provide enough education on this extremely important topic.
Food can either serve as medicine or poison. Assessing each and every patient's diet is essential, but you need the tools to do so.

meet your instructor
Hi! I'm Dr. Hillary Wolfe, a veterinarian and creator of the Pet Nutrition Essentials for Veterinary Professionals. I received my DVM from Kansas State University and have over 13 years of experience in the veterinary field. Beyond my veterinary degree, I am also certified in both conventional and natural nutrition for pets.
It is my belief that making a blanket recommendation of the "top 4" kibble companies for all pets is doing our patients a disservice. There is so much that goes into selecting a pet food, and one size does not fit all. I'm excited to share with you practical information that you can implement right away in practice!
